MONTHLY MEETING: October 5 - "Using Railroad Records in Family History Research" presented by Craig Pfannkuche
Railroads were meticulous record keepers. Large amounts of family data were collected by numerous railroad companies which spun their web of rails across the nation. Much of this material survives and is, as this presentation will show, a potential treasure of family history data to researchers. Craig Pfannkuche has been the archivist for the Chicago & Northwestern Railroad Historical Society since 1984.
